[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2318524, member: 50088"] Lots of debate on whether the job is more physical today or back in the day. -Today we get more stops, more pieces, more heavy weights, more hours -Years ago, the worst thing was awful package cars We still have some lingering 1980's no power steering, high step/narrow cab and door, manuals. Comparing first hand doing a day with one of these POS vs a newer car, I find virtually all the "work" is actually just fighting those old PC's. Just steering with no power steering drains more energy than any other task of the day. Add the clutch work and 2 foot high step and IMO the job was more physically demanding when you had to go out everyday in those PC's. I feel like I could do 40 more stops in a current package car and feel less worn out at the end of the day. So I'd take the job as it is today because of the modern comforts and conveniences.
